Children are prone to fever because their overall development is not yet fully developed and their body's resistance is relatively weak, so fever is normal. There are many things to pay attention to when a child has a fever. Have mothers learned about them? For example, what beverages should a child not drink when they have a fever, and what foods can they eat when they have a fever? These issues need to be thoroughly understood one by one.
What beverages should not be consumed during a fever
1. Avoid drinking too much tea: Drinking strong tea can keep the brain in an excited state, accelerate the pulse, raise blood pressure, and cause the patient's body temperature to rise and become restless. Meanwhile, tea water can affect the breakdown and absorption of drugs, reducing their therapeutic efficacy.
2. Avoid drinking too many cold drinks: If fever and gastrointestinal dysfunction are caused by infectious diseases such as bacterial dysentery caused by unclean food, drinking too many cold drinks can worsen the condition and even endanger life.
3. Avoid excessive consumption of honey: During a fever, the main focus should be on clearing heat and not nourishing. Honey is a supplement for nourishing qi and nourishing the middle of the body. If honey is taken too much, it can prevent patients from effectively clearing and eliminating internal heat, and may also lead to other complications.
What is a good drink to drink when you have a fever
1. Hot ginger sugar water: Brown sugar water boiled with ginger can have a cooling effect, so you may want to give it a try when you have a fever.
2. Hot Ginger Cola: Cola is a beverage commonly consumed by young people in modern times. However, it is not just a beverage. Boiling it with ginger slices to drink can dispel cold and reduce fever. For patients with fever, it is a good antipyretic formula.
3. Chrysanthemum tea: Chrysanthemums have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. When you have a fever, soaking a pot of tea with chrysanthemums that are in the flowering stage can warm the body and eliminate heat toxins. Therefore, for fever patients with symptoms of chills, drinking a pot of hot chrysanthemum tea in a timely manner can have a good effect on reducing fever and cooling. You might as well give it a try.
4. Herbal teas that can help reduce fever: When you have a fever, you can also try some herbal teas, such as thyme, chamomile, and other Chinese herbs that have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and sweating effects. Using them to brew hot tea and drink while it's still hot has a good effect on reducing fever and dissipating heat.
A child with a fever must have a proper diet, as improper eating can only add trouble to the fever. Therefore, in order to reduce trouble, it is important to have a better understanding beforehand.
